I Planned Abduction Of Late Reverend Father Okechukwu In Kaduna Because I Needed N200,000 – Suspect Confesses

A man arrested in connection with the abduction and murder of Rev. Fr. Sylvester Okechukwu has admitted to masterminding the crime, citing financial desperation as his motive.

The suspect, whose name has been withheld, told reporters at the Headquarters of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH) in Jos, Plateau State, on Thursday that he orchestrated the priest’s kidnapping to raise N200,000 for a personal issue.

“Fr. Okechukwu was living in our house at Tachira, and I planned his kidnap because I needed N200,000. I invited some guys from other places to assist me in the operation, but I didn’t ask them to kill him,” he claimed.

Okechukwu, a Catholic priest from the Diocese of Kafanchan, Kaduna State, was abducted on March 4 at his residence in Tachira, Kaura Local Government Area.

However, his body was discovered the following day.

Another suspect, also in custody, admitted being recruited but denied involvement in the priest’s death.

“At first, I refused to join, but he insisted. He later brought in others from Bokkos in Plateau, who came with guns. After we kidnapped the priest and walked for some distance, we left him with them. I don’t know why they killed him,” he said.

The News Agency of Nigerian reports that the troops arrested the suspects during a raid on a settlement in Warsa-Piti, Lere Local Government Area.

Meanwhile, OPSH officials confirmed that investigations are ongoing to apprehend the remaining suspects.

Because of 200,000 u kill a whole human

.. Then if you heard of killing, you going to tremble but now, it's just like a normal thing, like killing an animal. The society is too bad. Rip to the priest.

Omo.

Avoid poor people

So what's the essence of withholding the names?

This is y I always like justice system of millitary. For 80s and 1990s during babangida and abacha regime,I witnessed execution of armed robbers and murderers for firing squad.then, evil dey fear good. These politicians just messed everything up.criminals today no get idea say for millitary government, practically all armed robbers were executed, same as murderers

Withhold the name of the suspect because he is not Igbo. ABOKJ will just look for somebody to kidnap because he wants money to eat furadanunu. Dead country.

Really sad.

The pressure is getting worse

All for 200k?

No state of emergency will be declared

Nigerians of all Faith like to Fast and Pray a lot but they commit more evil than nations that are less religious.

I am sure many underage girls will be pregnant by the time Bala Mohammed decide to open the schools he closed down due to fasting.

God will deliver you, its not too late too repent

Maybe in hell fire.

Its a lie . They planned to kill him and most likely the priest had recognized one of them.

They are still breathing . SHOT the bastards DEAD

The heart of man is exceedingly evil. U needed to abduct and kill somebody to raise money which u never raised.
Money is everywhere, one only needs to look around for a useful need to meet.

Tinubu economic policy has ruined Nigerians beyond repair, poverty is rife and many breadwinners are dying due to the pressure to provide, especially married men look at young widows everywhere, it’s terrible….
